Why upgrade a-5 bolt

[GT_Hawk]

Ok seena few new bolts out there, but can't find much info on what good it is to upgrade them. So can someone give me details on what a new bolt well do and even recomendations on what ones are usefull.

Don't. There is no reason to. Aftermarket bolts won't effect performance in a positive way for the most part. The front bolt only cups the ball for a split second before it is propelled out of the marker.

The exception is the DOP front bolt and power tube. This is the only the bolt that is real-life proven to improve performance, but not a lot. I have a Shocktech Superfly and a DOP bolt laying around. I plan on trying the DOP one once I have my A5 functioning again.

Why upgrade an a-5 bolt you ask?

Well today is your lucky day!

1) if your old bolt breaks.

2) if your stock bolt isn't broken and you want to waste money.
